• Vincent Margiotti: Fight to save your license! If you drive after losing your license, you may have to pay a minimum $1,000.00 bond to get out of jail. You also will face a minimum 90 days in jail as a sentence.
• Carla Trongone: If you've been stopped for any Pennsylvania drunk driving offense, you already know that you're in serious trouble. You may have spent a night or two in jail, and your driver's license may have already been suspended. You need dependable advice and skilled representation immediately.
• Hamburg, Rubin, Mullin, Maxwell & Lupin: Pennsylvania DUI laws are draconian. For a first offense, you face penalties that include 48 hours in jail (72 hours if you refuse the breath test), thousands of dollars in fines, and a 12-month suspension of your driver's license. Anyone who is arrested for drunk driving should contact a lawyer as soon as possible to counsel them about their rights and what outcome they can reasonably achieve. First-time offenders in Pennsylvania who have no prior criminal or DUI or DWI convictions may be eligible for Accelerated Rehabilitation Disposition (ARD). Effectively, ARD allows you one strike when it comes to DUI. If you are accepted for ARD, the DUI charge doesn't go on your public record. While you would have to pay a fine and lose points on your driver's license, you will not lose your driver's license. Generally you can receive ARD as a first-time offender if there are no other crimes or incidents connected with the DUI arrest, such as an auto accident. You will need an attorney to guide you through the ARD administrative process. Obtaining a favorable outcome in a second- or higher-offense drunk-driving case requires an attorney who not only understands the law, but also has the scientific resources to challenge technical evidence such as breathalyzer test results.
• Rubin, Glickman and Steinberg: You can be arrested for DUI if you are in control of a motor vehicle on the highways or public parking lot. You need not actually operate the car in order to be arrested and found to be in control of a motor vehicle. If you are seated in your motor vehicle in your driveway while the motor vehicle is running you cannot be convicted of driving under the influence because although you are in control of a motor vehicle it is not on a public highway. Under the same situation, if the car is parked in front of your house, you could be arrested because the road in front of your house is a public highway.
